Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Allow to froth for about 5 minutes.
Stir in olive oil, then gradually add flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let rise covered for about 1 hour.
For the filling, mix cheddar cheese, jalapeños, garlic, parsley (or chives), and Italian seasoning in a separate bowl.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
